Eye Laxity
Symptoms of Eye Laxity
- Drooping or sagging of the upper or lower eyelids.
- Wrinkles or fine lines around the eyes.
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes.
- Difficulty fully closing the eyes in severe cases.
Eye laxity refers to the loosening or sagging of the tissues around the eyes, typically due to aging. It involves the weakening of the skin, muscles, and connective tissues in the eyelids, which can lead to drooping, wrinkles, and even functional issues with the eyelids. While eye laxity is a natural part of aging, these treatments and preventive measures can help maintain firmness around the eyes and reduce visible signs of aging.
Causes of Eye Laxity
- Aging: As we age, collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity—decrease, leading to sagging.
- Genetics: Some people may be more prone to eye laxity due to genetic factors.
- Sun Exposure: UV rays can accelerate collagen breakdown, leading to premature aging and skin laxity around the eyes.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, and lack of sleep can all contribute to faster aging and loss of skin elasticity.
- Repeated Facial Movements: Expressions such as squinting or frowning can cause fine lines and weaken the surrounding eye tissues over time.
Tixel®
The first and only (TMA®) technology safe for eye lid area. Suitable: Anyone with fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area, mild hooding of the lids, skin crepiness and mild loss of elasticity.
HIFU – Ultraformer
Best suited for those with mild to moderate under-eye ageing, puffiness and dark circle. Over the following weeks and months, the increased collagen production leads to tighter, firmer skin under the eyes.
Skin Needling
Skin needling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin to stimulates collagen production to improve elasticity and tightening.
Injectables
The hollowing of the tear trough is a common concern where a sunken or shadowed area appears under the eyes, typically along the ridge where the lower eyelid meets the cheek.
